Right!

Left!

It deviated!

Watch the ball carefully and run!

It's too soon to score!

Yes Sir!

The ball is losing momentum!

Yes Sir!

The Autumn Rookie Competition...

is just around the corner.

However...

To the utmost, our objective is...

the Intercollegiate Tournament.

I want all of you to focus...

- and give your best. - Yes Sir!

Chiaki!

Chiaki?

Hey! Chiaki!

- Chiaki, get a hold of yourself! - Are you alright?

Teacher...

- Welcome back! - We're back!

- Thank goodness for this. - True.

Let's get started!

- I'm back! - I'm back!

- Did you eat? - I'm starving!

I'm so hungry!

- Welcome back! - I'm back!

- Yukio! - I'm back!

Hurry up!

That was delicious!

Then, we'll meet in Mari's room.

Uh-huh.

Well then, see you at six.

- Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

Welcome back!

- Then, shall we leave our stuff here? - Uh-huh.

I'm sorry Kyoko.

After we finally got to practice together.

It'll heal till Spring.

I can't play tennis anymore.

Do your best, on my behalf too.

How about consulting coach Imaoka about a new pair?

It looks like Mr. Imaoka doesn't have the time for that.

"I'll find a doctor to heal Chiaki's eye no matter what!" he said.

It's not the coach's fault.

My receive was weak.

I'm fine as long as I still have an eye.

After all, I can still see.

- Are you Mr. Imaoka? - Yes, that's right.

- What ails you? - The eyes.

- You read too much manga, right? - Yes.

- Stick to movies. - Yes Sir.

- What's the condition of Komori Chiaki's eye? - Well...

- Since it's like this... - What about it?

- And with such an assistant... - Ah, lewd! Bleh!

That's trachoma.

Is there any chance for healing?

Well...

It's impossible for me.

This is quite a sensitive matter.

Hmm.

- I'll introduce you to someone skilled? - Who would that be?

He's a little eccentric tho.

He's called Black Jack.

Ladies and Gentlemen, have you ever seen the thing called "love"?

I thought so!

Love is hardly perceivable,

and frankly, it can't be seen.

Today, I'll show you someone's love story.

And whether you can see true love in it or not...

Stay tuned!

- Ah... I shee a caw! - Huh?

Who am I?

I'm the famous Black Jack!

Some call me a miracle making doctor and some call me a love magician.

What?!

How do you know if I'm the real Black Jack?

It doesn't matter.

You'll soon find out.

At any rate, this young man has just arrived at my residence.

It's open!

Doctor!

You have a cushtomer.

It's that man.

You're Doctor Black Jack, right?

So what about it?

I want you to look at a X-ray and tell me whether it can be healed or not.

- Who told you about me? - Dr. Ishigami from Tezuka Hospital.

He said you were university classmates.

Ishigami...

Ah!

A weird man who did nothing but watch movies.

This is pretty bad!

Both the cornea and the nerve are a mess.

It's also deformed.

Who on earth is the patient?

She's called Komori Chiaki.

She's a 18-year-old Asuka Girl's College freshman.

A ladies school, huh?

- Her parents' occupation? - They run a farm in Hokkaido.

- And you are? - I am Imaoka Hiroshi.

I'm a fourth-year at Hongoku University.

A school friend asked me to be a substitute tennis coach.

Hmm...

Could you please do the surgery?

I refuse!

As expected, there's no chance of recovery, right?

No...

I didn't say that.

It might be impossible for other doctors...

But with me, there's a 50% chance...

Please Doctor!

It doesn't matter how much it costs.

- Don't get smart with me! - I'm serious.

I'll do whatever it takes and get the money ready.

The surgery is 30 million, and in cash.

- No way! - You fool!

What's wrong with a doctor charging adequately for operating with the patient's life at stake?!

I understand.

- Still, I can't do it. - Why is that?

- The money... - Don't rush!

This eye needs a new cornea.

If it's cornea, there's some at the eye bank.

I'm an unlicensed doctor, you know.

Public institution like the eye bank would definitely send me to jail.

Doctors and the police treat me like a sworn enemy.

Then...

Please take my cornea.

Don't be absurd!

Will it close?

Hello!

Yes, that's right.

I understand.

Chiaki.

They say Mr. Imaoka is here on a visit.

To Hokkaido?

She said her father is coming tomorrow morning to get her.

- You're quiting school? - I also tried to stop her.

But Chiaki...

She said she doesn't want to trouble anyone.

That's not it.

I just want to breathe my hometown's air after so long.

I beg you...

Don't go anywhere!

I think it's too soon to give up.

Please don't think so seriously about it.

They say life has a bright and dark side, right?

I just decided to look only at that bright side with my one eye.

Cheer up!

Thank you!

A lot has happened but, we have some good memories.

Chiaki...

Please write me!

You too, Kyoko!

I'll surely come see you during winter vacation.

Thank you!

Mr. Imaoka is late.

The coach is busy you know.

Chiaki...

Kyoko...

Do your best together with coach Imaoka.

Hey hurry up!

- Good morning! - Good morning!

Good morning!

Mr. Imaoka!

Please wait Chiaki!

You need to get in this car right now.

"If you bring the patient within 2 hours, I'll do the surgery." said Black Jack.

- Black Jack? - Come now, hurry!

If you dilly-dally, the cornea will die.

And who is this Black Chuck?

He's a world genius surgeon.

He's unlicensed but, they say he owns some miracle making hands.
